FAQ

As someone who was diagnosed with cancer two years ago (non-small cell
lung cancer--and a nonsmoker to boot!) I've been through the gantlet,
from 4 different kinds of chemo, several surgeries, and a wide variety
of medical care from indifferent to deeply caring. So, trust me when I
tell you, that this movie gets it.

It gets what it is like to receive a horrific diagnosis out of the
blue, the numbness and shock of dealing with it, the well meaning
friends and acquaintances who say the stupidest things ("every time I
feel sorry for myself, I just think of you..."), and those friends who
really become your rock as you go through the miasma of treatment and
try to still make your life have meaning. Again, this movie gets it.

Joseph Gordon Levitt and Seth Rogen deserve high praise for the honesty
that they bring to their performances. There was not a false note
anywhere. The rest of the cast is terrific as well. I plan to see it
again when it is released in a month.

This is a quiet film but it packs a great deal of power. I thought the
humor was wonderfully placed, because without humor, life with cancer
is unbearable. As too many folks know so well. Go see it and be
entertained and learn a bit and rejoice in life even with cancer.
